Chemical Structure

1-(5-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propan-2-ol CAS 64120-55-4 chemical structure

Description

1-(5-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propan-2-ol (C10H13ClO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

1-(5-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propan-2-ol (CAS 64120-55-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H13ClO2 and a molecular weight of 200.66 g/mol.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
